EdTech Thought

Understanding and integrating technology in education is more than just using new tools; it's about tapping into their potential to enhance teaching methods. As teaching styles evolve, so do tech tools. Here's a quick guide:

  1. Identifying Potential: Each educator should discover the transformative power of tech tools available to them.
  2. Adapting Takes Time: Remember the initial struggle with projectors or whiteboards? Like them, mastering new tech requires patience.
  3. Choose What Fits: Not all tools align with every teaching style. Find those that resonate with you and your students.
  4. Trust Your Intuition: Each classroom and teacher is unique. Opt for technology that complements your teaching goals.
  5. Challenge Past Notions: Don't shy away due to previous tech setbacks. Shift your perspective from 'daunting' to 'empowering'.
  6. Unlock Possibilities: Leading educators are leveraging tech to redefine teaching. Don't miss out on potential game-changers.
  7. Stay Current: Technology isn't just the future of teaching; it's the present.

Optimize your teaching approach by embracing technology, understanding its potential, and integrating tools that enhance your classroom experience. Don't let apprehensions deter you. Embrace the present and future of education.

Christie Cloud chatted with me at ISTE Live 2023 all about Curipod!

Curipod's mission: "For too long, education has been focusing on remembering, recalling and memorizing. We have seen the greatness of what a curious person can accomplish. We are on a mission to spark curiosity in peoples lives and make questioning everything something you do everyday, because it is fun and energising."


In the ever-evolving landscape of classrooms and digital tools, House of #EdTech serves as a grounded conversation about what actually works. Hosted by educator Christopher J. Nesi, this podcast moves beyond simple tool reviews to examine the practical integration of technology with effective teaching strategies. Each episode feels like a collegial chat, where Chris and his guests-often fellow teachers and innovators-break down the latest trends, dissect new platforms, and share honest reflections on their successes and setbacks in real educational settings. The focus is squarely on actionable ideas that can enhance instruction, streamline workflow, and ultimately support student learning. It’s a resource built for the daily realities of teaching, whether you’re looking to refine a single technique or reimagine your approach to edtech. The discussions are rooted in experience, making complex topics accessible and immediately relevant. You’ll find a consistent emphasis on the human element behind the screens, exploring how technology can foster connection and creativity rather than replace it. Tune in for a thoughtful, no-nonsense take on navigating the intersection of education and modern tools. This is a podcast dedicated to the practitioners in the field, offering a blend of inspiration and practical how-to guidance that acknowledges both the potential and the pitfalls of bringing tech into learning spaces.
